It’s time to plant your Easter grass. It is a fun way to add some spring decor to your house and the Easter dinner/brunch table. It’s simple, easy and inexpensive to do but you do need to plan ahead.
Easter is now less than 3 weeks away so it’s time to start. Besides being a fun way to decorate for Easter it also makes a nice gift to give to friends or neighbors.
Supplies
- Wheat or Rye Perennial grass (you can purchase from your local hardware store)
- Fertilized in-door planting soil
- Containers
- Small pebbles
Directions: The process is super easy.
- Put pebbles in the container first if the container does not have a drain.
- Place soil in containers
- Add water (the soil should come an inch from the top of the container)
- Sprinkle seeds on top (Do not push the seeds down into the soil)
- Spray water on top of the seeds
- Cover with a wet paper towel
- Every day I spray water on top of the paper towel to keep it moist
- When the seeds start to sprout, remove the paper towel, and keep it by a window
- Continue to spray with water
- In about 8 days the grass should be about 1 inch tall
- As the grass grows you can give it a little trim whenever it needs it.
- ENJOY!
I love this little pot that sits on each individual place setting. I replanted the ivory in this little vase and used curly willow branches to make a “cage”. Each curly willow branch was cut the same length, stuck in the dirt and and tied at top with twine. Adorable!!
Hyacinth and Muscari create a beautiful centerpiece. I love the focal point of the purple Hyacinth with the grassy leaves of the Muscari. Cement vases are so in right now. I absolutely love the look. The beautiful wrought iron cage adds height and drama to this centerpiece.
